Cooling off the mad squirls
#1
I have an 88 vert, and i live in vegas. I took a run to Barsto and back and had to refill on water twice each way this trip was in 100 degree weather averaging about 80 to 90 mph. Each time i saw the water coming out of the overflow acrost my hood and i would stop cool down the radiator and refill with fresh water and fluid. Yes i grew up out here so yes i do carry 2 to 4 gallons of water in my cars at all times along with oit and other emergency stuff( my trunk is always full). any ways i dont think its an acual problem with the car just the design flaws most cars have when dealing with desert temps. so i am loking for info on a larger radiator larger being thicker and some ways of getting more air under the hood and back out again.
thanks for any help.

That shouldn't be happening. You could have a bad coolant seal or a damaged iron.
Ducting is your friend...
you're not building the car out of radiator?
but yeah on an na, stock radiator with everything else working right (t stat hint hint) its fine
